Introduction with Deniz Göktürk.
A richly detailed investigation into both a murder and the human condition, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia received the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. Anatolia takes us under the dark of night into the vast Turkish landscape, where a routine police procedural unspools as a mystery. “Like a game of chess, the grand design of this subtle and disturbing film comes increasingly into focus as events progress. Things are not always as they appear to be, and in Kafka-like gestures, people, emotions and events are developed in different and deeper ways" (Piers Handling, TIFF).
